Setting Up Pop-up Panels

Pop-up panels

Pop-up panels are used to display extra input needed during a transaction in a panel that appears on top of the POS current layout. When the pop-up panel closes the POS current layout appears again.

The Pop-up panels are a part of the Interface Profile ##DEFAULT, but as with other panels, these can be copied to other Interface Profiles and changed whenever the user wants to have a different layout for them.

Note: These pop-up panels are used with POS Pop-up Version Standard only. Pop-up panels for the Enhanced Version have the prefix #PPOP.

Tip: For new companies it is ideal to copy the Pop-up setup from the Demo Data Company.

Tip: The Pop-up setup is included in the ##DEFAULT Interface and Menu Profiles and in Retail Setup.

In the system there are three different Pop-up panels designed to display the different Pop-up types:

#POP-SIMPLE1X
#POP-SIMPLE
#POP-FULL

The size and position of the Pop-up panel in the POS is defined with the Panel’s Width, Height, and Position fields.

Note: A panel with zero value for the XPos and YPos fields appears in the center of the POS window.

Pop-up panel #POP-SIMPLE1X

This panel has two columns and two rows and its POS Panel Control lines are three.
